One of the fundamental factors working against the NDA government at the centre is the introduction of the ethanol blending in petrol.
The E20 model that’s being enforced by the government has been drawing a lot of criticism at the fundamental level but the reciprocal action has not been consolidated enough from the government side.
And to make matters worse for the government, former Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal has come up with an explosive statement.
In his latest tweet today, Kejriwal posted ‘Sources indicate that Modi govt plans to mix ethanol in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). Experts say that this cud seriously compromise the safety of flights.’
The fact that the former chief minister of state is openly saying that the government is considering blending of ethanol in flight fuel which could compromise the flight safety is as shocking as it can get.
There is no official word to this effect from the government till now, but the allegations are pretty severe from the former chief minister. If this really is a part of the plan for the government, then this could lead to further backlash, which is the worst possible outcome now.
